John Hewitt is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and filmmaker based out of Edmonton Alberta. In March of 2020 John’s Alberta debut was set to be released but the pandemic brought all motion to a halt. Focussing on the studio and songwriting, he continued to produce, write and record throughout 2021, coming up with material for 2021’s Dead Lovers and Hollywood Reality and 2022’s Life Blood & Tears. In that time he produced several local Edmonton acts including Will Ryan’s Way on Down the Mountainside and Angie Klein’s Made in Alberta.

2022 saw the return to the road where John performed across Canada, Montana, Utah and Colorado at the Canmore Folk Festival, Wild Oats & Notes, Waynestock, the Whitefish Songwriter Festival, Millwoods Canada Day Celebrations, Waterton Opera House, Gallery House Concerts, the New Moon Folk Club, Northern Lights Folk Club, Lethbridge Folk Club, Nickelodeon Folk Club, and our very own Black Rose Acoustic Society.

John continues to tour, and between tours he continues to produce local Edmonton acts including his own works Life Blood & Tears: Vol. II and Broken Rebels, released in May 2023.

Here’s what people are saying about John Hewitt:

"With artfully crafted songs, masterful musicianship and humbled authenticity, John Hewitt is the full package and the real deal. John's natural ability to tell a story through song, combined with his down-to-earth welcoming of the audience into his world, are just two of the many noteworthy qualities that will ensure the continued success and longevity of his career." - Rhea March - Host & Producer 'It Takes A Village CJSR Radio Network

The songcraft of John Hewitt is spot on. He not only tells a story but does it in an engaging way with complementary lyrics, melody, and arrangements. Basically John is a hardworking artist that pays attention to all the details of his presentation and our audience loved it!" - Gallery House Concerts
